Period Four Grammar—Ellipsis感知以下课文原句,补全方框下的小题1.句1和句4为简单句中的省略,句1中在first和second后省略了degree;句4中在becoming 前省略了from。
2.句2,3和5为状语从句的省略。
当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致,或当状语从句的主语为it,而且从句谓语中含有be动词时,可以把从句的主语和be动词一起省略。
一、什么是省略1.省略是一种避免重复、保持简洁的语法手段。
2.凡是缺少一个或一个以上的必要语言成分,但在一定语境中能够独立存在,意义明确,并且能发挥交际功能的句子就是省略句。
二、省略的分类(一)简单句中的省略1.省略主语:一般情况下,主语是不能省略的,但在祈使句和其他不容易引起歧义的情况下,特别是在口语中,常常省略主语,主要是祈使句中的you和疑问句中的主语。
(You) Shutup!住嘴!(It) Doesn’tmatter.没关系。
2.省略宾语:当上、下或前、后两个句子的宾语一致时,下句或后句常省略宾语。
—DoyouknowMissGao?—Idon’tknow (her).——你认识高女士吗?——不认识。
3.省略主语和谓语(或谓语的一部分):在某些具体的场合下,主语和谓语都很明确,此时为了简化或显得亲切等,可将主语和谓语(或谓语的一部分)同时省略,只剩下表语、宾语、状语或其他成分。
(Youcome) Thisway,please.请这边走。
(省略了主语和谓语)(Haveyou) Gotanyink?你有墨水吗?(省略了主语和谓语的一部分)(二)并列句中的省略一般来说,在后一并列句中凡是与上文相同的成分通常都要省略。
Myroomisonthefifthfloor,andhers (is) ontheeighth (floor).我的房间在五楼,而她的在八楼。
(三)复合句中的省略1.状语从句中的省略当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致或从句的主语为it,且从句谓语中含有be动词时,省略状语从句中的主语和be动词。

At the start of the season, our two star __________, Yang Hua and Xiao Ping _________ of getting 30 points each in every game. They didn’t manage that, but they _________ about 25 each.

Read the two titles and they are meaningful. “Michael Jordan--- Head and Shoulder Above the Rest”. Look at yourself, and your head and shoulder are always above the rest of the other parts of your body. It means somebody is much better than others. “Wilt the Stilt --- the Tower of Power” Class, have you ever seen people walk on stilts in the Spring Festival? They are taller than people who don’t. As we know, Chamberlain was even 19 centimeters taller than Jordan. He was not only tall but also full of power and magic on the basketball court. Comprehension—understanding what you are reading—is important. To read in thought groups is an easy, yet effective, way of improving reading comprehension. (Divide the whole class into two groups) Group A read the first passage about Jordan and group B read the other. And then introduce the basketball player to each other by using the information of the text. (a form of finding topic sentence or generalidea of each paragraph)Now read the recording of the text.
